End of the day you need to pay for the ground, staffing, comms and media, police then of course players whichever league you are in so we have a great offer
What league they are in is neither here nor there. Stockport's income will almost entirely be from gate revenues- they can hardly give tickets away. £265 is good value- I'm surprised it's not a little more.
I'd rather pay 315 to watch us then save less than two quid a game by watching football three leagues lower. As you say we give value for money.
What? To watch lower half of Conference North football. I think that is what BarnsleyLoyal is talking about, and quite frankly I agree with him.
£245 according to this http://www.since1883.com/prices.php I paid £370 for Oakwell, but that was the early bird offer so I need to compare that with £225.
So you're basing the price of a season ticket, on the league status of the club, yes? So we're charging more this season, or (at best) a price freeze (for those who had to pay ridiculously early) even though we're a division lower? Yet you're happy with our prices, but find Stockport's wrong? They're a similar size club to us. They're in the ****, have been for a number of years. It works out at about a tenner a game. Can't see an issue with it. In fact, most season ticket prices at most clubs aren't an issue for me. It's the pay on the day prices I find appallingly obscene, especially the higher up the pyramid you go.
Bloody hell Andy - you really have fallen for the berk's mantra. Hook, line and sinker. As the cliche goes.
Sorry, I thought I was on the Rochdale forum for a minute... Folk would have said the same about Swansea a while back. Now, nobody would call us bigger than them. I lived in Stockport for over a year. It's a Manc version of Tarn, seriously. Very similar place, similar issues. They (and us) had a little peak era in the 90's. We fared better though, and the rest is history. I've no idea how they've ended up like they have. But, when I lived there, they were a division above Man City yet all you saw kids wearing on the streets were City shirts. Never once saw a County shirt when shopping or whatever. I saw us beat County down there once, Hristov scored, and Shipperley. Great night that.
